with a pulley l9 and with a transverse pin 88 extending between the twoparts thereof adjacent the highest point. Mounted upon the shaft 74 is awinding drum 8| which is wound a cable 82 which passes over Mounted uponthe shaft WhlCh meshes with a worm 85 operated by a through an opening88 therein. Mounted upon the platform H on the portion thereof whichoverhangs the base 10 is a transformer 89. The output of the transformeris connected in series with the magnet l3 and a switch 90 carried by ahandle member 9| mounted upon and spaced The member 9| is mountavertical portion SH and an attaching portion 9l which is secured to theplatform thereby spacing the handle 9| above the platform. Current issupplied to the transformer 89 by suitable extension cord 92 con' nectedto the house current and to the primary winding of the transformer 89.Current is supplied from the transformer to the magnet l3 by means of aflexible cable 93. The cable 93 contains conductors 93 and 93 Conductor93 is connected to one side of the secondary winding of the transformer89 while that 93 is connected to one side of the switch 93. The otherside of the switch 93 is connected to the other side of the secondarywinding by conductor 93 The base 10 and platform 7| may be made ofaluminum or similar light metal and the platform may have in addition tothe transformer a counter-balancing member 94 of heavier metal, such aslead, connected thereto by the screw The platform and base will easilymovable with respect to each bearings 86, as clearly indicated in Fig.3.

magnet employed is which this is a division.

In view of the foregoing it will be clear that I have provided a devicewhich is well adapted for its intended purposes and while I have shownand described a. preferred embodiment, I wish it understood that I amlimited only in accordance with the appended claims and the prior art.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1. In a device of the class described, a base, a platform mounted forrotation on said base, a

at the platform end thereof, a source of current said switch and saidwhile the hand crank is manipulated. by the other.

2. In a magnetic toy, a base, a platform mounted for rotation upon saidbase and having a porincluding a hand crank for manipulating said tionextending therebeyond, a crane mounted upon said platform and extendingover the edge thereof in a direction opposed to said projection, ahandle carried by said projection, a switch carried by said handle nearthe point of attachment thereof to said projection and means crane, saidcrank and said handle extending in the same direction whereby saidhandle and switch may be manipulated by one hand of the i operator andsaid hand crank by the other.

3. In a device of the class described, a base,'a platform mounted forrotation thereon, a handle mounted upon said platform for rotating themay be manipulated operator.
